Step 1 – Prepare for Renewal

NMLS has prepared renewal handbooks for state-licensed companies
and individuals to help guide them through the renewal process.
These handbooks provide information on how to prepare to and request
renewal of licenses in NMLS. All records must be up-to-date with an
approved status before requesting renewal. Use the
Preparing for Company Renewal Quick Guide to review the
information on record and confirm the status of a license or
registration.

Refer to the appropriate renewal handbook for a complete overview of the renewal process.

Step 2 – Make Sure Your Record is Up To Date in NMLS

Confirm you are able to access your NMLS account by logging in
with your username and password. If you need assistance with your

hyperlinks on the NMLS log in screen. A
brief video is available to assist you with this process.

Tab, and request renewal of their license(s). Alternatively,
licensees also have the ability to identify licenses they do not
wish to renew.

In certain instances, sponsoring companies may wish to submit a
renewal requests on behalf of an individual licensee. Individuals
should consult with their sponsoring company to determine who is
responsible for the submission of their renewal request.

A completed renewal request will reflect a "Renewal Requested"
status in the Composite View tab of NMLS and the licensee will
receive a confirmation email from the System.

Step 5 – What's Next?

Once Step 4 is completed, your state agency is notified of your
renewal request. Your state agency will review your request,
communicate any identified issues, and update the status of your
renewal request.

The Composite View tab in NMLS contains the most up- to-date
information regarding the status of your renewal request. The NMLS
Call Center is able to provide the status as it is displayed in the
System and does not have additional information regarding the status
of a renewal request. The NMLS Call Center does not have the
ability to change the status of your renewal request.
